Testimonials

See what real clients say about KickStartLove.

I decided to give dating coaching a shot because I was sick of asking my friends and family to analyze my dating experiences. I hit a point where I realized that finding love was something I took seriously, and that it warranted enlisting the help of a professional. I am currently in a wonderful relationship, and I can safely say that I would not be in that relationship without Elana’s coaching.

Our session yesterday made things so much easier today. I spent the day out everywhere just striking up conversations all over the place and it was nice. Like really nice. I don’t exactly understand why I was so anxious and closed up but it’s rapidly going away. Thought you should know. 

I can’t help but think that if you didn’t have your singles mixer, I would have never met her.

Here is the help busy single people really need. I received one-on-one personal coaching that was tremendously helpful, including guidance and advice on all the myriad website and dating avenues to choose from (which can be daunting). My coach helped me get over my ex, and become ready to date again. I feel like I met my soul mate!

— Cleveland, Ohio

I’m about to propose. I want you to know before it happens because you were such a big part of it happening. There’s no way I would be at this point without you, and I look forward to being able to say that I found my wife with the help of KickStartLove.

This was my second time attending one of KickStartLove’s Speed Dating events and once again, I did not leave disappointed. KickStartLove always provides a fun and friendly atmosphere to mingle and meet some of the hottest singles in the Cleveland area. They also choose the best restaurants in town to hold their events. Since the event, I have gone on numerous dates with some of the sexiest young professional women around and had a great time doing it. It definitely beats the club scene. So whether you are looking for love, casual dating, or simply just enjoy meeting new and wonderful people, give KickStartLove’s Speed Dating a try.

I joined a dating website and had no idea how to represent myself. I thought my original profile was funny, but my friends told me it sounded disinterested. I contacted KickStartLove for support. I was surprised how well Elana helped me to encapsulate my interests and personality in a profile. Over the next two months, my number of connections tripled!

— New York, New York

I had tried online dating a few times, and never really had much luck. I would write to girls, and they would not write back. Elana edited my profile to make it sound better, and told me all sorts of things about the online dating world that I never would have figured out myself. Now I feel confident in writing to girls, knowing that I have a solid profile and set of pictures to back me up. Online dating is a lot more fun, now that I am getting lots of dates.

Because of you (and your efforts) I met the love of my life. It’s four years later, and we’re still going strong!

— Cleveland, Ohio

KickStartLove puts a great twist on speed dating by giving themes to the gatherings — Speed Dating for Book Lovers or Speed Dating for Music Lovers. It’s a unique concept that helps filter potential matches from the start. I attended the Book Lovers event in the spring, and met lots of smart men who I never would have met otherwise. Elana herself is smart and low-key, and presents a calming and upbeat influence on the whole event. I definitely recommend attending an event.
